The '''D.I.Y forum''' is a feature in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'' where the player can read message board posts made by [[Diamond City]] residents. The posts range from tips on content creation and game unlocking to random humour and promotion of ''[[ WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]''. Threads are unlocked based on actions in the game (such as completing the tutorials or unlocking new content). <br> | |||
